The steps outlined in the article below are the same steps that are covered in the video above.
These will walk you through how to set up your SL MkIII with Cubase. Please ensure that your SL MkIII is connected to your computer and powered on.
Inside Cubase, please go to devices > device setup. Then select the plus, and add a Mackie HUI device.
Select the Mackie HUI device, and select the input and output port to be SL MKIII InControl.
Please note that the ports may be named differently when setting up on a Windows operating system. The ordering should be similar to those seen in the video and screenshots above (Mac), but here is a list of how they may appear when comparing Mac to Windows:
Input Ports
- Novation SL MkIII MIDI = Novation SL MkIII MIDI
- Novation SL MkIII InControl = MIDI In 2 (Novation SL MkIII)
- Novation SL MkIII From DIN 1 = MIDI In 3 (Novation SL MkIII)
Output Ports
- Novation SL MkIII MIDI = Novation SL MkIII MIDI
- Novation SL MkIII InControl = MIDI Out 2 (Novation SL MkIII)
- Novation SL MkIII To DIN 1 = MIDI Out 3 (Novation SL MkIII)
- Novation SL MkIII To DIN 2 = MIDI Out 4 (Novation SL MkIII)
- Novation SL MkIII CV/Gate = MIDI Out 5 (Novation SL MkIII)
Once you’ve selected the InControl button, you can control the following functions:
- Transport
- Volume faders
- Mutes, solos
- Pans
- Sends
Cubase 12
SL MkIII users with Cubase 12 can completely customise the control surface based on your needs. See this link for more info regarding Cubase MIDI Remote Integration: Cubase MIDI Remote Integration.
